AMD expands embedded solutions

The company will now include the Sempron 3500+ processor and the Turion 64 X2 dual-core TL-52 processor as part of this new offering.

AMD, which is the world's second largest chip maker, first announced in March 2005 that it would start offering its Opteron chip for embedded markets such as storage, blade and telecommunication servers; digital imaging and media; communications and networking; and the military.

In a statement, AMD officials said that its chips' 64-bit architecture, along with their low-power envelope and Direct Connect technology, will offer companies more options in designing products within the embedded market.
